Hey guys. I would really appreciate it if you R&R. Constructive criticism is always welcomed. I will update when I can but I am a full time collage student, so sometimes it might take me a while. You will mostly see updates during weekends. I know the story progress is slow but I like it slow. Enjoy.

There's also a little bonus at the bottom. Hope you like it.

Chapter 9

Hiruzen was surrounded by paper work. He swore that the paperwork was out to get him, it was his greatest enemy. It never ended. Luckily in the middle of his battle, Kakashi appeared appeared out of nowhere in front of him. "So how was she?" He asked.

"She can use all five elements." Hiruzen's smoke pipe fell out of his mouth and landed in front of him. 5 elements, that wasn't impossible but it was certainty unheard of.

'Naruto, will you ever stop amazing me.' At this point Hiruzen didn't think anything could surprise him. Outwardly he just nodded.

"I'm guessing you tested her on her other shinobi skill. Where is she at currently and how will you precede to train her?" He asked instead.

"Naruto already seems to have talent in both ninjutsu and taijutsu, while having no talent for genjutsu. When in comes to taijutsu, Naruto while seemingly very uncoordinated, seems to have a advanced fighting style that I have never seen before. It is a highly offensive style that uses fast movement and strength. At times it seemed as if she was using chakara to enhance both of them. It seems she naturally came up with it on her own, which is highly unusual, for when could she have developed it and why. She also has great skill in throwing kunai, but I have noticed that sometimes she overreaches her arms, as if she expects them to be longer. I plan to improve her strength and stamina, as well as work on her coordination which seems really poor right now. I will also help her develop her fighting style even further.

For ninjutsu, you already know that she can use shadow clones. I asked her to demonstrate for me, and she created around 100 of them. She wasn't even tired or winded after creating them. Most likely she can create even more without getting tired. This suggests that her chakara capacity surpasses my own and many high level jonins. I don't know how much of that is due to the Nine-tailed fox. She can henge pretty well, which she demonstrated for me. It was *cough*interesting*cough* demonstrate needless to say. These were the only two jutsu she seemed to know, but its still pretty impressive considering her age." Suddenly Kakashi paused while remembering one more jutsu that Naru could use. He shuddered. "She can also a forbidden S level technique."

This caused Hiruzen eyebrow to rise. Suddenly the way Kakashi had said that caused a light ball to go off in his head. He had a bad feeling he knew which technique, Kakashi was talking about There was only one reason why Kakashi or any grown shinobi would shudder like that. He had to confirm it though. God help them all if Naruto knew that technique, he truly feared for everyone in Konoha. "You mean THAT technique." He placed a strong emphasis on the word that. Kakashi just nodded, 'Oh god, we're all doomed.' Hiruzen despaired, 'She knows the puppy dog eyes jutsu, no one is safe.'

Kakashi couldn't dwell on this topic any longer, it terrified him to much."Anyway Her chakara control is bellow average but that's not surprising considering the amount of chakara she has, I'm actually surprised that its not worse. I plan to diversify the types of jutsus she learns, so eventually she will be well versed in all five elements. I will also teach her different ways to utilize her shadow clones. With her shadow clones she will also be able to learn most faster than normal. I understand that she is still very young for such extensive training, but from what she has shown me so far she can more than handle herself. I will make sure she doesn't over exert herself though.

As I've mentioned before she has absolutely no talent for genjutsu. This is likely due to her poor chakara control. But to make her a well rounded shinobi in the future, I plan to work on this a little. She will never truly be great at it, but she will know enough to escape from one or create very simple ones.

All in all, Naruto has great potential. She will probably soon surpass many in terms of skills and abilities...Well she is also a knucklehead though." Kakashi reported.

Hiruzen nodded, for some reason he didn't expect anything less of Naruto. Hiruzen had a strange feeling that she might even surpass him one day. What surprised him was that Kakashi had so much to say. For a man who didn't speak much, he gave a surprisingly long report. Hiruzen suspected that Kakashi was very interested in Naruto's potential too.

Kakashi continued, "To draw out as much of her potential as we can, I ask that we bring in a few more teachers to train her." Hiruzen nodded, he could see the merit of that but he had some misgivings about it.

"I will allow it, but we must keep her training quite. If the council gets a wind that the Naru is learning shinobi arts and at such a young age at that, there will be a lot of protest. They want to make sure that Naruto does not become powerful. There will be some who agree to train her, but only in the interest of making her an emotionless weapon for the village. I will not allow for that to happen. It's better to keep her training under-wraps for now. Once she is ready and no one can interfere, than we shall reveal her abilities. Do you have an idea on who to bring on in her training?" Hiruzen asked.

Kakashi nodded, "I know two people for now who will greatly improve her skills."

"Good." Hiruzen sighed. "Seeing her skill, It would have been better to take her out of the academy, so she could train more. From what you've told me, the academy wont help her much. But I wont do it. Naruto needs and deserves a childhood, and I wont take that from her. She also needs to interact with other children. If we don't send her to the academy, I fear that she will continue to be a lone. She carries a great burden, and I do not wish for her to collapse under it." Hiruzen reflected. Thoughts of Naruto's burdens was a great wight on his shoulders. He wouldn't wish what she had already experienced on his worst enemy.

"You may go Kakashi." As Kakashi turned and was about to walk leave, Hiruzen had one more thing to say, "Kakashi, train her well." Kakashi simply nodded and in a swirl of leaves was gone. Hiruzen sunk deeper in his chair, one single thought breaking him from his depressing musings. 'Shinobi's and their need for a dramatic exit. At this rate, I'll have to rake my office of all the leaves they leave behind.'

Next morning

Naru was having a good day so far. While the academy lessons were beyond boring, something good had happened this morning. Hinata had worked up the courage to thank her for saving her the other day. Sure she stuttered a lot while doing it, but she still had the courage to walk up to her and thank her. On top of that Naru had convinced Hinata to 'play' later. Naru fully planned on playing with Hinata, but she also had a hidden agenda. Naru planned to sneaky incorporate training in there games. That way Hinata would improve her skills while also gaining confidence without even knowing it. Naruto knew that simple kids games could actually be considered good training if done right. Naru eyes practically gleamed at the things she had planned. But to really make some of her plans work, she needed more players.

Naruto heard the bell ring, and she realized that class was over. Everyone practically ran out of there. Naruto for once wasn't one of them. She was supposed to meet Kakashi in about two hours, so she had some time to kill. As she walked outside, she noticed Sasuke leaning against the wall of the school. She was about to approach him when she noticed Itachi approaching him. Seeing the wide grin on Sasuke's face, Naruto decided to leave the two alone. Naruto sat on the swing that had spent so much time on the last time she was a kid, and reflected on what to do next. As she was thinking she noticed a group of kids getting ready to play a game. She noticed that they were picking teams. Right away, Naruto noticed that Choji was being left out and picked on. Naruto jumped off the swing fully ready to do battle, but someone else got there first. Good old, lazy, Shikamaru came to Choji defense. Naruto couldn't help smiling at the scene before her. Shikamaru and Choji really were the greatest of friends. But unfortunately a trio of one big guys and two smaller guys surrounded them. They started to taunt Choji and Shika.

"What'ch gonna do fatso. You cant do anything. Your just fall over on your fat feet." One of the kids said.

"Well he actually has a brain and can use bigger words. Come on Choji lets go." Shikamaru insulted back, while grabbing Choji in an attempted to walk away. Sadly the other kids wouldn't let them go.

"Ohhh, so the lazy boy has something to say does he. Did you get a nice nappy wappy time you babby? Does baby want his milk and diaper?" The boy who had been insulted was infuriated.

"This is so troublesome. Talk to use when you can spell diaper." Shikamaru retorted and tried once more to get away.

Naruto was pissed. No one, and she meant no one, messed with her friends. Even if they didn't know that they were friends with her yet. She stormed over to the group of kids, "What do you think your doing you jerks. Get away from them or I'll beat you up." She roared. All three of the bullies sneered at her.

"Oh what can a little girl do." The biggest bully said. Bad move, that just made her even madder. She had beaten some of the most powerful shinobi's in the world, these three were nothing to her. She rushed towards the guy who had taunted her and punched him in the guy. He fell back by her surprising strength. She crouched down and swiped one of the smaller guys legs. He fell down on his back. She whipped around on the the last one who was charging her and simply punched him in the face. Like the other two, he fell on the ground too. All three boys glared at her both angry and scared. She had easily beaten all three of them. They knew that they couldn't beat her. So they did what all bullies do when confronted with a stronger foe, they ran.

"We're going to tell on you." They whined while running away. Shikamaru just snorted, while watching their running backs.

He turned to her and nodded his head at her, "Thanks for that."

Choji had already whipped out his trusted chips and offered her some. "Want some chips." Naruto grinned, she had gained just gained back her two friends. Three actually including Hinata. Yes, today had been a very good day for Naruto.

Omake (remake of hobbies)

He was brought out of his musing when he heard her ask, "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" He gave her his standard answer to such a query. Plus he was still sulking a little from her earlier prank.

"Oh...me? My name is Kakashi Hatake. I have no desire to tell you about me likes and dislikes. Dreams for the future...? Well I have lots of hobbies..." Kakashi answered deadpan. Naru was irritated by his answer. Sure she had expected it, but it still pissed her off. Suddenly she grinned.

"I've seen you read a lot of times in town. Plus you were carrying a book earlier. Do you like to read? What kind of books do you like?" Naruto asked in her best 'I'm a cute and innocent little girl' voice.

Kakashi almost fell down from there. The only outward sign of his panic was the widening of his one eye. How did she know about his books? The old man was going to kill him. He tried to think of a cover, "Yes I like to read, umm I like to read about...ummm...human interactions. Yes for a shinobi learning about human interactions is very important. It helps us on missions." Kakashi nodded, thinking he had made a solid excuse.

'Human interactions. Really.' Naruto thought. She decided to make him sweat a little bit more.

"Really, its important for missions. Can you read it to me than. I want to become an awesome ninja too." Naruto pretended to plead with her innocent face on.

"Oh, umm." Kakashi looked around for a way to escape. He had dug himself into a trap.

Naruto decided to kick it up a notch. She tilted her head, "I heard one lady say that what you read is porn. Whats porn Kashi-sensei? And why is it important for missions? Can you teach me porn?" She said again in her 'I'm a cute and innocent little girl' voice.

Kakashi was practically crying inside. Yes, it was official he was dead. Completely and utterly dead.

"Look ramen!" He pointed to something behind her,

Naruto whipped around,"Ramen, where!' When she saw that there wasn't anything there she turned back only to find Kakashi long gone. She grinned, even if he had tricked her with Ramen. His panicked face was so worth it.
